        Welcome to the Scavenger Hunts!

        If you’ve done at least one Scavenger Hunt and have time to host one, we’d really appreciate it! You can sign up by posting your name and the current hosting list stickie on Artwork from Life forum: https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366347

        Rules for Hunting:
        * All items on the list must be sketched from life–not imagination nor photo references
        * Each object you draw can count for only one item on the list, no matter how many shapes/parts/colors that object contains. This was agreed to by unanimous vote among the participants
        * You may place multiple objects together in a drawing or painting, and may count those objects as separate list items, but no single object can count for more than one list item.
        * All items posted must be numbered. Count them as you go. The first item you sketch and post will be #1 regardless of its place on the list. Do them in whatever order you wish, but count them in the order in which you sketch them, from 1 to 26.

        Do as many or as few items as you like; you don’t have to finish the entire list to participate! You don’t have to comment on every post, but comment, if and when you can.

        Scavenger Hunts last for 9 days, with the next hunt starting on the 9th day.

        Please tell us your size, surface, medium, and the amount of time it took you to do each sketch. We love hearing about your subjects and setups. Photos of your subjects are also welcome!

        Challenges
        1. Draw the item, then use its shapes to create an abstract from life.
        2. Use a medium you like but do not use a lot.
        3. Draw same item in 2 or 3 mediums.
        (Combine 2 and 3: Draw in your favorite than do it again in medium you do not use a lot.)

        Keep sketching/creating

                        Hi all, we are in New Mexico still in hotels. Won’t be at our house until tomorrow evening. Couldn’t get my iPad to to what I wanted so am on Gene’s computer.

                        I sketched on my iPad with the app Brushes.

                            Keep sketching

                                I spend some nice time at this little river today. This is ‘outdoor’. Watercolour with a little colour pencil touch ups.

                                                EP: Weldone for the challenge.

                                                We went to the salon yesterday… while waiting for Lily’s haircut to finish, I sketched one customer in action…

                                                Joe, I think I used both fingers and pencil. Your stately models are very well done, applause.

                                                Jeroen, your outdoor Wc is. Lovely, nice place to be.

                                                EP, wow love the sketches and the abstract. You are in sync.

                                                Ai, great scene. You will have such great memories of the girls.

                                                We visit family on our way and I drove a lot so no more sketching.

                                                    We went out to a cafe by small canal…so we all threw bread bits to feed fishes in the canal, as a part of Iris’s 13 years old b-day today.
                                                    This was done in direct watercolor style… about 40 min. on A4 size Deluxe Aquabee sketchbook
